Retro Previews
We launch the first Retro spring season with two matchups featuring established teams taking on new squads. Lets dive into it.
8:30 Caliphs vs The Botz
The season kicks off with the commissioners team squaring against a new team comprised of familiar faces. The Botz return much of the same team last year who got a reputation for coming close but not quite finishing the job in a lot of their games before getting whooped in the playoffs. Another year of Syed getting comfortable at qb and receivers like Aadil, Hassan and Jishan should keep the offense hanging around. Caliphs are known from the elite world but are bringing it down a notch to compete with the rest of us at the retro level. We know ZQ leads the team at qb and AZ and Qasim are running with him. One thing we know about a football team AZ is on, he’ll do anything to win. We think they run away opening day.

9:45 Niners vs Marine Park Squids
Moody and the Niners return with a revamped squad after a disappointing playoff performance. MVP contender Ruhel, who is a Niners for life will make up a formidable duo joining former Imaan receiver Omar Salama. The question will be is Moody actually a qb, Farooq says no. We dont know much about the Marine Park Squids. But we know they have a great father and son combo. Father being Rick - who played in CFL season 1 and is an accomplished QB. Arjun, his son has youth and good football sense. The rest of the crew is young and inexperienced in organized leagues we hear. Let’s see if Captain Evin can bring a competitive team. We think this one stays close but the experienced Niners eke out a win.
